github.com - Heap, that enables robustly sensitive and accurate calling of SNPs, particularly with a low coverage NGS data, which must be aligned to the reference genome sequences in advance. To reduce false positive SNPs, Heap determines genotypes and calls...

When you're just starting out with biological programming, it's easy to run into complex problems that make you wonder how anyone has ever managed to write a program.

github.com - RAINBOWR(Reliable Association INference By Optimizing Weights with R) is a package to perform several types of GWAS as follows. Single-SNP GWAS with RGWAS.normal function SNP-set (or gene set) GWAS with RGWAS.multisnp function (which tests...

PhD opportunity at Université de Liège - Belgium The Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Unit of Université de Liège (Belgium) is looking for a highly motivated master student with programming skills for a PhD thesis project (4 years, fully...

github.com - DAVI consists of models for both global and local alignment and for variant calling. We have evaluated the performance of DAVI against existing state-of-the-art tool sets and found that its accuracy and performance is comparable to existing tools...

bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org - An ultra–high-performance protein–protein docking software for heterogeneous supercomputers Summary: The application of protein–protein docking in large-scale interactome analysis is a major challenge in structural bioinformatics...

github.com - Variation graphs provide a succinct encoding of the sequences of many genomes. A variation graph (in particular as implemented in vg) is composed of: nodes, which are labeled by sequences and ids edges, which connect two nodes via either of...

GrapheR: A GUI for base graphics in R

pybedtools is a Python wrapper for Aaron Quinlan's BEDtools programs

Research in our group focuses on the investigation of the signals involved in gene specification in genomic sequences (promoter elements, splice sites, translation initiation sites, etc…). We are interested both in the mechanism of their recognition...
